Phil Martens, President and CEO of Novelis Inc., was selected because of the high value he places on talent management and its contribution to the success of Novelis.

“It’s a tremendous honor to be included among such a stellar list of CEOs,” said Martens. “I am proud that Novelis has transformed itself into a global leader, supplying aluminum to the world’s best brands and taking a leadership position on sustainability. This would not have been possible without the team of people around me who combine their great intellectual curiosity with a long-term view of our business goals. As CEO, talent management has been my top priority, and we are now seeing the return on that investment in human capital.”
